== External Services == |

| 79 |
This plugin relies on the following third-party / external service to perform sharing functionality: |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
**Social Network Share Links** |
| 82 |
- The plugin uses public share endpoints for all 30+ social networks (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, etc.) |
| 83 |
- These are client-side redirects only — no data is sent to the plugin developers |
| 84 |
- Users complete the share action directly on each social platform |
| 85 |
- Review each network's privacy policy for their data handling practices |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
**Nextdoor Sharing Service** |
| 88 |
- What it is: A sharing utility provided by Nextdoor (https://nextdoor.com) that allows users to post links to their Nextdoor community boards. |
| 89 |
- What it is used for: Allowing website visitors to validate and share the current post or page URL on Nextdoor. |
| 90 |
- What data is sent and when: When a visitor clicks the Nextdoor share button, they are redirected to Nextdoor's validate-share endpoint, which transmits the URL of the shared page. No personal or telemetry data is sent. |
| 91 |
- Links: [Nextdoor Terms of Service](https://nextdoor.com/member_agreement/) and [Nextdoor Privacy Policy](https://nextdoor.com/privacy_policy/). |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
For all other social networks, this plugin uses client-side redirects to their public share endpoints, where users complete the share action directly on the respective platforms. No data is sent to the plugin developers. |
